The NICU is staffed 24 hours a day by neonatologists, nurse practitioners and nurses with specialized NICU training – all of whom are prepared to care for medically fragile infants, including those who undergo cardiac surgery.

With more than 60 beds, the environment is carefully managed to enhance infant outcomes with soft lights and minimal noise to promote healthy rest and healing. Parents are afforded as much privacy and comfort as possible to support them during this critical time in their children’s lives. In addition to physicians and nurses, the NICU is staffed by:

Respiratory therapists

Child Life Specialists

Medical social workers

Dieticians

Pharmacists

Rehabilitation therapists

Breastfeeding mothers have access to breast pumps in all rooms, as well as a private, fully equipped breast-pumping room and the services of lactation nurses.
